She became the first Republican woman to represent the State of Texas in the U. S. House. Granger has held leadership positions including House Deputy Whip, and is currently Vice Chair of the Appropriation Subcommittee on Defense.

Granger becomes the 283rd Representative of 435 Congressmen to co-sponsor the measure which is 65%+ of the United States House of Representatives.

She is the 104th House Republican to co-sponsor the Bill.

The PAST ACT will remove the pads and chains, eliminate the corrupt HIOs and make horse soring a federal felony.

* For certain purposes, the total number of Congressman could be argued as #284 due to Congressman Bill Young (R-FL) having co-sponsored the PAST ACT prior to his death, and now his successor Congressman David Jolly (R-FL) has also co-sponsored the PAST ACT.
